Chasing the Virus
Nurse’s Diary Launches New Video Journal
For registered nurse Peter Sidhu, every work shift is hand-to-hand combat with a virus that sickens – and kills — more Californians daily.
Today Capital & Main debuts the video diary of a veteran nurse fighting on the front line against the coronavirus. For many of us who are able to work from home, or are not employed, the most dangerous time of the week comes when we are forced from the safety of our apartments or houses to navigate a crowded supermarket aisle. For Peter Sidhu, however, every day is hand-to-hand combat with a virus that sickens more Californians daily, and that takes a heavy physical and emotional toll on Sidhu and his fellow medical professionals. The registered nurse works in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Kaiser Permanente’s Woodland Hills Medical Center in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley, and is a member of United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals (a financial supporter of this website).
